Hey guys. Just a question regarding the transfer of hops from the boil to fermenter.
I do extract brews around 10-12l boils with anywhere upto 100g or so of hop pellets.
In the past. Ive made my hop additions simply by throwing them in at the required times, completing my boil, then transferring to my fermenter. Hop bits and all.
Last night, i made my hop additions loosely as per normal but strained before adding to the fermenter. I was amazed how much 70g of hop pellets were remaining. Probably about the size of a tennis ball or hop 'mush'
Will this affect the brew? I think it will.clear.quicker but i am concerned about flavour. This is my house brew and the first time ive strained.
Your thoughts?
Cheers
Ben
